how can I have it either
1- not show edited by for moderators like is currently setup for admins
or
2- have it says "edited by the moderator" instead of their username when they edit threads?

[Mark Hewitt]

Couldn't you set it up so it doesn't show edited by - at all - ?

[Alien]

Yes, I really wish this was an option as well..

I really don't want to have it show edited by for moderators, like it doesn't for me (the admin). Would be great as another option in a future release.

Find template - postbit_editedby

And remove it's contents.

[Admin]

I just checked, and by the code that is in editpost.php, it shouldn't appear for mods:

if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
  $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
}

but it does.

of course i could, but that's not how i want it set up - I would like it to say edited by for regular users

OK. I have put in those post how to do it both ways you requested. You can pick which one you want.

1- not show edited by for moderators like is currently setup for admins

In editpost.php find

PHP Code:

if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
  $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
} 


and replace it with

PHP Code:

if (!$getperms[ismoderator]) {
  if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
    $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
  }
} 


2- have it says "edited by the moderator" instead of their username when they edit threads?

In editpost.php find

PHP Code:

if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
  $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
} 


and replace it with

PHP Code:

if ($getperms[ismoderator]) {
  $editedbysql=",edituserid='1000000',editdate='".time()."'";
} else {
  if ($showeditedby and $postinfo[dateline]<(time()-($noeditedbytime*60)) and !($getperms[ismoderator] and !$showeditedbyadmin)) {
    $editedbysql=",edituserid='$bbuserinfo[userid]',editdate='".time()."'";
  }
} 


Then in functions.php find

PHP Code:

    if ($post[edituserid]!=0) {
        if ($post['edituserid']!=$post['userid']) {
            $edituser=getuserinfo($post[edituserid]);
        } else {
            $edituser = $post;
        }
        $post[edittime]=vbdate($timeformat,$post[editdate]);
        $post[editdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$post[editdate]);
        eval("\$post[editedby] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_editedby")."\";");
    } else {
        $post[editedby]="";
    } 


and replace it with

PHP Code:

    if ($post[edituserid]!=0 and $post[edituserid]<1000000) {
        if ($post['edituserid']!=$post['userid']) {
            $edituser=getuserinfo($post[edituserid]);
        } else {
            $edituser = $post;
        }
        $post[edittime]=vbdate($timeformat,$post[editdate]);
        $post[editdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$post[editdate]);
        eval("\$post[editedby] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_editedby")."\";");
    } elseif ($post[edituserid]==1000000) {
        $post[edittime]=vbdate($timeformat,$post[editdate]);
        $post[editdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$post[editdate]);
        eval("\$post[editedby] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_editedbymod")."\";");
    } else {
        $post[editedby]="";
    } 


You will need to add a template called postbit_editedbymod with these contents:

<smallfont><i>edited by the moderator on $post[editdate] at $post[edittime]</i></smallfont>

You can obviously change that to whatever you wish.
If you hit 1,000,000 users, this second way will break but in that case just bump the 1000000 to 10000000 in both places it appears.

[Admin]

Kevin (happy 5000th post ), can you explain why it didn't work in the first place?
Looking at the code, it should. Right?

[tubedogg]

It should but for some reason it doesn't, which I don't understand...
